pretty amazing after the hopelessness of our first 4 rounds that pending next weeks results for other teams and us getting a win over Souths we could find ourselves in the top 8 sitting on 6 points

Finally had a chance to watch the game (recorded it). Good to see Barba finally playing well. Pity about the injury.

This is the thing with Robbo. We lose everyone sees how **** he is we win everyone brushes is massive flaws under the carpet. We need a proper 7 .

You don't think it suggests that he's not the problem, seeing that we win when players around him are changed? I'd never suggest he's a star player, but give him some credit. I would go so far as to say he's one of the best defensive 7's currently playing... If a players value is measured by how many points they're worth a game, I'd say that Robbo's defense is worth 6-12. So I don't care if he's not scoring them, we've got other players who are now doing that.

Robbo saves 6-12 points per game? His defence is good but I don't know how you come up with a figure like that.

He's often pulling off one on one tackles close to the line... I've no doubt he saves one or two tries a game that a poorer defense missed have let in ( like any of our other edge defense last year..)

Glad you cleared that up mate I thought they got everyone back together to replay the match Monday morning for you.

Not far off the mark in some games mate. I've got no doubt his defensive abilities factored into the Storm moving away from their preferred right edge with Slater, Cronk & Proctor picking out the half to go with Green & Harris at Barba on the left (obviously Barba's defensive 'abilities' came into at well).

I don't remember the last time he was beat easy in D.

Just got back from a golfing trip with about 20 mates. Haven't had a chance to post in this thread since we beat the filth on Frisay night. Can't remember much of the game but I had a ball giving it to most of the boys as they were nearly all Knights supporters. Love beating this lot and hope we can continue our run. Yeeeehaaaa
